Re: [IRCA] QSL Managers/DX Tests/Etc.

I agree Martin that SW stations have certainly dropped from the verie
"game". I had sent about 50 or so reports to tropical band stations with
maybe a dozen replying back in 1999. I pretty much don't send any now. I
suppose if you wanted a hundred VOA or Radio China veries it is ok, but I
prefer the more interesting tropical band S.Americans and Africans. I
haven't been a NASWA member since 2000 or so, so maybe things have improved.
